The helicopter (carrying director Terence Young during filming) crashed over water, trapping the director below the surface for a considerable time in an air bubble inside the copter's canopy. He was rescued and then immediately went back behind the camera with his arm in a sling. See more »

When Bond and Tatiana are on the water being chased by the three Spectre boats, the middle boat, which is directly behind Bond's boat, has a man on the bow firing an automatic weapon at Bond's boat. But when the bullet holes appear in the drums, most are on the ends of the barrels, on the left side, and a few are in line with the direction of fire. The only way for this to happen is for someone to be shooting from the left of Bond's boat as well as from the rear, yet only one person is firing and he's firing from the rear. See more »

A Bond film that stands out among all other films as well as the Bond films, From Russia With Love is filled with not only a heavy dose of nonstop action and adventure, but also an intelligent plot that commented heavily on the world state of affairs in 1963. Capitalist and Communists are set to work against each other by SPECTRE, an organization which does not give any special considerations to economic systems, but wishes to weaken the balance of world power and take control itself. The survival of the Bond films depended on their ability to change with the decades, and From Russia With Love is no exception. Great acting performances from not only Sean Connery, but Robert Shaw, Pedro Armendariz, and Lotte Lenya (the wife of Kurt Weill).
